Hindu Mutt heads call for ban on cow slaughter

Various mutt heads, mostly from Tamil Nadu, today called for a ban on cow slaughter in the country while seeking protection for cow.
It was among the several resolutions passed by the religious heads at a meeting held here.
A slew of resolutions were passed in the meeting including demand for an audit by Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) in government-run temples, with an income of over Rs one crore, to introduce a law to ban cow slaughter and thereby save the cow and ban export of cow meat, to regularise the post of temple priest and make their pay on par with that of government employees and so on.

Over 150 mutt heads participated in the meeting which was presided over by VHP representatives including state president R S Narayanaswamy and general secretary Gopalji.
